It was nice weather this morning, I just wanted to go somewhere by myself with a pack of tobacco, camera and my mp3 player. Goje island would be great to see now. This island is famous with many beautiful beaches as Busan is. It sound's like a place to visit for summer but I'd rather say spring is also good to see ocean view :) My friend, Andy popped up and I guess it's because I have been thinking of going somewhere with him before he go back to his country. So I made April one day trip plan with Andy. I only have time on Sunday from now on so it has to be for oneday which is possible to make it. It takes for 2hours from my hometown, Jin Ju to GoJe and my father's car is normally available for Sunday. My idea is that Andy will come to my hometown by the time when I get to JinJu after my work in Busan and he can stay over my father's home that night. Next day early in the morning around 6am, we can head out for GoJe. 10 hour would be enough. Since I was a navigator when I was in army, I still remember map of GoJe. Oh,, I'm so excited now. I haven't been to this island since I finished army and it has been for more than 5years. Plus this trip will be with Andy. Tonight, I talked about this plan and he said it's possible which is great!

From this coming Wednesday, my language exchange will start with my friend. My original plan was to lean spanish because he can speak English and spanish without any problem. Because of my english which has be improved much more, he will correct my English. this class will be twice a week. Monday and Wednesday around 2 at my favorite coffee place, Coffee Bean. First one hour is for my English to be corrected and the rest of time is going to be used for his Korean. Perfect! This is what I really wanted it and I definitely will be a good student as well as a good teacher :)

I came to ex school to see my some of my friends. They still having a hard time with job stuff however they looked more confident. Yes people sometimes just want to sit down on the ground and want to blame present. but it doesn't take too much time to get ready, filled with confidence. They stand up and chase their dream soon. Because we all know life must go on. Anyway, we took some photos with my new phone and talked. after that we went to grab a beer with chicken with good conversation. while we were having talking, I realized that we believe all together. We strongly encourage and are encouraged. This is good that I have someone who believe me. No matter what others say about me, I have people, standing in my side and they believe I make my dream come true. they are always with me, saying "Seo , you can make it." Thanks you guys again. and I won't let you guys down.

This is 광안리

My life actually has been not as good as before for past few weeks for some reasons. It felt like I lost my brain and so the way I has been behaving was odd. I didn't like it though. But a big problem that has been around me just sorted out yesterday and so I am emotionally able to focus on my reality. I hope it returns me my usual life.

Saturday afternoon, I had been stuck in my home to work, making some piece of stupid documents since morning however it's my two of friends birthday. They started party at 2pm. I missed beer more than anything else lol

Around 9pm I was at store, looking for birthday gifts. In the middle of sitting on the fence to know which one would make them happy, I learned that people should thank a lot when they are given a birthday gift. shopping for shirts has been the hate part but it wasn't. birthday gift is the most tough thing to choose.
Anyway, when the gift was packed, I ran to the subway station because I was late. well I guess it's because I needed beer :)

While I was walking toward elevator and I was passing security box, I saw a guard, talking on the phone and he seemed like so angry but he just kept saying "sorry" he and I were in the elevator heading 6th floor. ' would he go to where I'm going to?' I thought. It turned out one of my friend's neighbors complained to security guard, saying my friend's party was too noisy lol so all people at the party tried to enjoy our party silently. was good I drank about bottle of beers with great music. some were pooling around behind me, some were dancing. About 2hours later, door bell rang, when I opened door, there was a guard with 4people, being super angry. we were kicked lol and went to a bar, Basement in PNU. They have a rock band at saturday night which I love. for 2hours I talked with a girl who's my friends, NiKo's coworker. she was cute :) she seemed like really a nice girl. I should have asked her cell damn it! we stayed at the Basement till a band finished their performance. it was around 3 I think. Thursday party in Kyong Seong was after it. We drank, drank and drank. 4am people never seemed like going home and the place was still packed. everyone's drunk.

I saw some of my friends going home. and some others were looking for something :) I just was good with beer and jack and coke. oh there was one more, tequila!!! this is only good thing to live my area. it took just 4minutes to get back my home from beer party :)

I took this shot while I was smoking after dinner.

"Welcome to visit JinJu" When I saw this through the window on the bus, I just felt everything is good. After that, beautiful river was saying "hi" to me. Super fresh made me clean my all concerns in my head. I definitely was in my hometown, JinJu!

I got good date to visit because it was date that one of the aunts from seoul came down for her business. So my father took her and me with my family to GaSan where our family used to go for raw fish. it's costal city as well but this city has different mood from Busan since it's really small and most people in this city are old. When we got close to our favorite fish restaurant, there were about five new restaurants. Father said "let's try new one" and my mom said "No" lol we had small argument in the car and do you think who won? My father did. it was actually cool place especially that we could see ocean view through the huge winder inside.

We ordered full course, type B. Oh my god. they had super ultra delicious side dishes and when I looked at my mother, she seemed really enjoying food :) and she said that was the first time that my father's adventure worked to find restaurant :) Since my aunt hasn't seen my family for a long, they started to catch up, but there wasn't much moment for me to speak. It was adult's stuff to deal with so I was nodding and eating. I just was happy, being with my family.

When I opened door, there was tiny cute my puppy, jumping to greet me. his name is HaKu my younger sister named from a Japanese comic book :) I missed him a lot and so did he. My father's apartment kept same look. Nothing was changed. "Knock Knock" My mother came to my room about one hour after I changed my cloth. She was holding tray with tomato juice. Oh sweet I missed that scene. We talked about everything well.. it was more like that she gave me tons of question and I just answered them. But I liked that.

I didn't come to my hometown to see my family this time but whatever another reasons I had, I spent good time with my family and I ended up cuddling with HaKu till I felt asleep. it was lovely night.

As soon as my reasonability was done which was why I came to JinJu, I took a bus, heading to Busan. Since My weekend coffee buddy was out of Busan for last weekend, we made a deal to see each other today after her work in SeoMyun. We went to Titanic again for a coffee and was trying to come up with good things to name her new camera. 11:30 we took off and went to subway station to go home. damn it. we missed it. Taxi was six dollar well I guess her taxi was more expensive than I paid to get back her home since she lives in an island, Young Do.

March 24, 2008

It may be time to have a break for me and I want to be in my hometown. Beautiful river, flowing in the middle of the city, fresh air and friendly people actually make my hometown, JinJu looks better. My hometown, Jin ju doesn't have any competition for jobs since there are not many people. More than half of population are running their own small business as my father is. No competition. peaceful and lovely my city always gives me a rest. it's because this city was where I was grown up. There are my friends who take care of me always and my family whom I love.

Few days ago, My younger sister wrote down something in my korean homepage and that made me think about my family again. 'How important are they in my life?" They mean so much to me. It's not because of financial stuff they would help me. The thing is we have same blood inside of our body. She is getting married soon and she now thinks that's kind of her responsibility. As a daughter of one of korean families, she thinks that her duty is to get married with a guy before she gets older and that makes my parents feel happy. I'm not saying she will get married to any random guy. she definitely have someone that she is in a love. It's like she is in a hurry for some reasons. Please don't blame Korean culture. It's actually good for her. In fact old women still don't rarely get popular. I'm not one of them who thinks the younger is the better however there are my guys in Korea who prefer to find younger woman to spend the rest of their life. To be honest, I don't want my younger sister to get married early. I hope she takes time to find real one who sincerely love her. Anyway, what she wrote down was that she wants to get married early for her and her parents and so now she feels upset and scared that she won't be able to stay with my parents. I couldn't come up with anything to say though I had to say something for her...

I ordered my summer shirts few days ago and some of them got arrived today. my heart pumped so fast when I was unpacking it. Two whites and one blue shirts. they are great, they are perfect!!! I'm wearing blue lol I can't wait summer.

My friend, Andy text me about his plan to go EVERLAND at the end of April which is amusement park in Yong In city where is about two hours from Seoul. Despite me, being crazy with riding a roller coaster, it took me for a long hours to text me back because I didn't plan anything for next month and I have no idea what's going to happen next month. April, May, June they are going to be unpredictable with my job stuff. When I was sitting on the fence, my mother called and said she got a notice that I should go get trained in camp for two nights three days. I will be remind the way to use a fire and everything about army. So EVERLAND is gone

:(

난 가고 싶은 곳이 있고... 그곳에 가기 위해 달리고 있을 뿐이다. 주위에서 나를 보며 뭐라고 하던지 상관없다. 왜냐면 내 주변인들은 내 삶이라는 영화의 조연들에 불과하기 때문이다. 이 영화 속의 주인공은 분명 나이기 때문이다.

I know where I want to be. and now I'm walking toward it. No matter what other people say about me, they are not big deal. you know why? I'm the one who is hero in this movie which is called Seo's life. Others are just supporters.

오늘 내가 왜 이런 이야기를 하고 있을까? 오늘따라 기분이 별로 좋지 않다. 계획한 대로 모든 게 이루어질 수 없는 것이 삶인 것임을 알면서도, 기대하지 않는 불행과 행복이 나에게 달려드는 것이 삶이라는 것을 알면서도, 지금 이 순간, 난 내가 살고 있는 영화 속 세계의 시나리오에 화가 나 있다.

Why am I talking about this? Today I feel awkward. Life isn't supposed to happened as I planed and I know my life is filled with unexpected happy and disasters. In this moment, I'm angry at the scenario, the way my life goes.

문득, 내가 작게 보일 때, ‘병성이 넌 괜찮은 놈!’ 이란 생각을 스스로 백만 번도 넘게 해봤고, “나이 30이 되어 크게 한번 웃자!” 친구들과 10년 전에 한 약속도 떠올려 보았다. 머릿속이 너무 복잡하다. 지금 무엇을 생각하고 있는지도 모르겠다. 무엇을 해야 하는지도 모르겠고 왜 내가 이런 복잡함에 시달리고 있는지 알 수 없다. 시간은 빠르다. 고등학교시절, 친구들과 함께 우리는 미래에 멋진 사람이 되어 있을 거라며 말하곤 했다. 난 그 미래라는 시간 속에 살고 있다. 과연 난 멋진 사람인가? 양쪽 어깨가 무겁게 느껴지며, 굳게 닫힌 입이 열리지 않는다. 내 작은 눈은 초점을 잃어가고 있다. 10년 전 꿈꾸었던 미래 속에 내가 살고 있는 것이 있지 않나보다.

That 'Seo, you are cool!' was what I'm actually thinking about when I feel I'm useless and this idea that my life when I become thirty would be awesome which is I used to say with my highschool friends came up to me sometimes when I didn't know what I was going to do. Everything is screwed up in my brain now and so I don't know what to do however I don't know why I'm struggling from this terrible feeling. Time goes so fast. thirty years old isn't that far to be, I now live the time that I used to dream of and it's supposed to be beautiful and my ideal life. but I'm not happy at all. My both shoulder feel too heavy, my mouth doesn't seem like that it has something to say, life in my eyes is vague.

부끄럽지만 내가 숨을 곳이 없다. 잠시 동안 숨어 있어야 될까? 아니, 숨기 싫다. 내가 숨으면? 또 다른 조연이 내 삶에 주인공으로 등장하겠지? 그렇게 유쾌한 생각은 아니다. 그럼 어떻게 해야 할까? 어떻게 해야 할까?

It's shame. I want to hide myself however there's no place to hide. No! I won't be hided. if I do, one of the supports in my life step on my back to be hero in my life. It's not great to think. So what should I do? what should I do?

got bored...

March 20, 2008

Yesterday, I felt my legs was shaking because of high fever and my nose was broken. Yes, I had a cold however it has been loverly weather past few days. As I have been living by myself I have my own treatment way to recover. It turned out that I had to see a doctor. "Oh. How did you come by yourself?" He said and that meant my body was terribly bad. He gave me an injection of Ringer´s solution. sleep went for about one hour while I was lying in the bad for 1hour. But when I woke up, it felt like I had sleep for more than ten hours which meant that I had really good sleep. Now how am I feeling? I'm great :)

Due to some facts that my phone didn't work properly three times and I got sick, I didn't attend my English study. My penalty was 20,000won($20). sucks.

One challenge stuff has come up to me which is the test for Chinese character certificate. It's on saturday in three weeks. There are about 2000 words and phrases. They all should be filled in my brain for three months. Some of my friends told me that would be impossible to memorize that much words for a short time well they will see what is going to happen :)

My plan is that I'm not thinking about anything except for Chinese stuff since my brain is too small to do many things like memorizing stuff. One thing which is really sad is that English isn't going to be most part of my life :( but I can stand. Three weeks isn't that long.

SamSung is actually one of the best brands all over the world, making mobile. In light of my experience as well, every single product I've bought and used never ever let me down before. This is a part in oder not to accept my friend, Andy's opinion. He is anti-SamSung :)

My cute and super DMB phone got screwed up from drinking party. while I was smoking with my friend, Taylor, something happened on my cell phone. it was completely wet and sticky when I was in the room. I think it was a cocktail. Though my cell phone was in a warranty, they said " Sorry our we don't cover this occasion, this is your fault." " To get it fixed, It costs 200,000won($200)" and so I'm going to buy new one. It's weird that there's someone I would want to see and talk with at this moment...

March 17, 2007

My this weekend was a bit busy. okay,, where would be good to start?

Friday day night, I went to Gurri bar in SeoMyun around 11pm to see my CDI buddies. I wasn't supposed to go out this weekend due to some stuffs. but this last week has been so busy and tiring with my Grand mother's thing, my friend's thing and another friend of mine's business stuff. So I took a subway. we just talked about random topics and we played card, called category something. it was so challenge game to me. I didn't play that card game and I think we in Korea don't have that kind of game. Plus there was my language problem lol

After 2hours drinking game, we grabbed taxi, heading to PNU where Basement is. God this was completely packed. Many people were dancing, grabbing beer. They all looked happy lol. 2hours later, I think it was around 2am. I text my friend who would be in PNU " I'm at the basement" and she text me back " At crossroad you should come over" The fact was I didn't know where it was and I just went to Mcdonald to get a ice coffee. when I closed door at Mcdonald. I got one more text "you suck" oh ' is she angry at me? so I went straight to crossroad without thinking. Yes she was with her friend actually her some friends who were supposed to go home with her already left her while she was awaiting me. I felt sorry. So we all back to the basement. the funny thing was that " you suck " wasn't the text she sent. my another friend who was at the basement got drunk and he text randomly lol I was the one who got random text.

Saturday afternoon, I went to Lotte department store to have lunch with her. we didn't actually decided what we were going to eat. we used to go for Chanchi soup but today we tried different one which was Tai food. pineapple fried rice was for me and she ate Ta,, don't remember what it's called. but it was good. after lunch we went to coffee place. Taylor called me and said " where are you?" Oh I was supposed to see him at the beach with his friends to enjoy beautiful weather. I totally forgot about that. and he said " he's going to cook and drink at his place where he just moved in. so she and I went to his apartment. We happened to change place, Chris place. He and Taylor live in same building. Chris made bugger for dinner. He should be called a chef. His bugger was amazing. when dinner was over, I had to face one more challenge card game. Melissa suggested that we play game, called "speed" it need us to be moving fast eyes and hands. she won five time in a row but guess what? I beat her finally yahoo!! we stoped play it and we move our game into category. most of people were drunk enough to be happy, we all went to KS where I live to go Thursday party and where we ended up our saturday night.

This was about 3years ago. I wish my life was just like this moment.

March 13, 2008

This morning, my friend text me " Can we meet tonight again?" I'm now talking about the one who just got hurted from dating relationship. She was understandable but it didn't seem right to let her over my place for drink because she took a long time to take off from my place. she must have felt so lonely and get hurted. The fact that I would have no idea to say to make her feel better if we meet up was true. So I text her back " Sorry maybe someday later..."

After lunch, what my friend told me was too bothering me. She told me that she will revenge guys. She said that she get hurted a lot from a guy and it's her time to get guys hurted. I understand her still but well that's not nice to do. "whoever she pick up from night club, her gym and her school is going to be her prey. it's not girl's problem. this though would be in guys brain and also women's brain. Well is this life? The meaning of love or something similar to love is really positive or good in human's dictionary? They are positive and beautiful as far as I know. when more than half of people who want to jump in new relationship, think revenge, who the hell is going to be with me? Speechless...

It's still raining now in Busan. this weather has to be changed soon. it's not romantic to see rain with yellow dust :)

My grand mother got sick again. she actually was in her death bad. I really hope she alive till I get married. she was really rich when she got married. But after she had my father who's the youngest among 10 sons and daughters. My grand father business started getting bad and 2years later they got bankrupt. So I know how hard and horrible time she has had so far. when my mother had me in her room, my grand mother kept saying "Seo would be great and I could make family Seo happy with wealth, glory and health. I've been doing great so far, actually after high school. I want her dream come true. and I will make it.

Mr, Arms didn't show up at my gym today and my gym trainer told me he would come after 11pm sometimes due to the fact that too many people are at my gym while I'm working out and so he could have problem to keep his work out plan. I think it would be ok, working out with him twice a week. my plan was actually to lean his good thing for instance, he knows how to make nice arms :) I have to see him tomorrow.

March 12, 2008

The weather recently has been really good, not cold, windy. It has been sunshine which is my favorite weather. I went to school campus daily time today and there was another thing that let me know spring actually came already, according to male students, wearing spring shirt and female students, wearing skirts :)

I felt like shit for past 2 nights and there had to be someone to talk. So I mailed one of my friend first and she mailed me back and it was like that she wasn't even try to know why I was in a bad mood. she just mentioned about she had to be really busy to read book that was supposed to done someday this month. Yes right everyone has job to do in their life and they do not want to be bothered at all while their jobs are on going to be done. It does all make sense.

Around 7pm, I went to the gym. My gym is so small. I never understand how it has got 5 stars rate on newspaper and now I think they did bribe something to Ad company. When I was close to side mirror for stretching, a guy caught my both eyes for only two seconds. It was triceps on his arms. Other people didn't seem like they notice his great arms because of a big loosed shirt he was wearing but I felt my arms were crap. 15minutes later, I came to him and said "Hi" He was 32years old and he was actually body builder. He said "Seo, you have great shoulder and back, touching them." and he said "you would join body builder composition this summer if you set good work out plan to change my shape a little." It was a super compliment :)
His arms motivated me a lot which is so good since there has been many guys who work out really hard and I needed something to encourage myself. There are actually people who just watch TV, work out instead. I nominated him as Mr. arms.I will start work out with him from tomorrow and I am so excited now.

10years ago today, My father's brother passed away from car accident so his family will have memorial day tonight. I should join it.

Yesterday afternoon, my friend called and her sounded really sad. Her heart got hurted a lot. There was a guy she actually dated for past two months. This date meaning is not like just go grab a movie and have a coffee. I guess they needed something in common. The other day, she realized that she likes him more than just he likes her and also she didn't want to spend her passion and wast time on their relationship. It was last Friday she told a guy that she wanted to move their relationship a little forward and "No than, let's stop meeting" he said. This case doesn't happen often in Korea yet since we are used to prefer to be a couple or not. Okay this is the part I most hate. Dating would be good I think to get to know each other and being together without any restriction. But we should know there always be possibility one of them could get hurted. Anyway she came over my home with 2 bottle of sojus without asking me on the phone. well I couldn't say I didn't want to drink and go your home because she looked so poor. So we drank all, talking about some funny story which never was about her ex- relationship. I don't remember when she took off my place.

March 9, 2008

I woke up at 10 with hearing some's taking off from Chris's house Oh my god! I had meeting saturday afternoon. It was good that I made all power point stuff and organized documents earlier last week. anyway I was hurry not to be late. the meeting just started when I got there in coffee shop.

The meeting didn't go well due to the fact that there was controversial points between me and my friends. well my idea didn't work at all so I shut up.

After I got back home, I cleaned my home as usual with my cleaning music and I didn't think about meeting for a while.

Good! my friend unloaded picture we got when I don't remember. I think we got more picturers than one. She probably didn't upload some that she didn't like :)

It's Sunday night now...

I was supposed to see my friends in SeoMyun for dinner at 5. I really had to be on time since my phone broke and so there would be no way to contact her to let her know if I'm late. At 4:20 I left home, heading to Seomyun and at 4:30 I took a subway. Two station away from my stop, a women who looked like in her sixty hold my left hands and asked to glasses store where she was supposed to be at. I didn't know where it was but I could go and find where she wanted to go. So I got off subway with her and took over the store which was her destination. it was 5:05. I text her already that I was going to be late with the lady's cell phone but I didn't feel like being late much long and I didn't want her to wait me on the line at restaurant under the rain I ran till I got to my dinner place without break. when people on the line were in my eyes, I couldn't see her. 'Did she leave?' oh thanks god there was my friend, Megan.

We all had dinner and Megan gave 6 rates out of 10 to this place and my friend gave 9.5. me? as a person who like eating, I gave 10 :) After dinner we went to coffee place which is called Titanic and isn't not famous however they have good couches and mood. I really liked that place cause there were not crowed. We talked about random topics and Megan left earlier around 7pm. but I didn't want to go home that earlier so I told them I would stay longer then my friend, Melissa stayed with me. she is sweeite :)

We talked about everything. Time flies. when she checked time it was 10pm. I took her for a long so I couldn't stay longer with her. well I wanted to stay myself but tomorrow is Monday so I will go that place someday next week myself or don't know who's going to be with me. My weekend has been really peaceful and lovely and I hope this coming weekend is good too.

March 7, 2008

It's saturday morning and it is drizzling now. what a beautiful day! everything is quiet, fresh. this spring must be coming soon.

I don't drink much and often because of me, being so headache when I drink a lot and so I'm not really able to sleep. There's one more reason that it feels really hard to work out the day after drink. Past Friday was exceptional. 5am saturday morning I got back home from drinking.

Friday night, I went to PNU(Busan national university) around 11pm to see my CDI friends whom I haven't seen for a long. moi's was the first place I've been if my memory serves me right. It was packed. There's no seat, available even no space to stand. People were there to enjoy music that a band played but I wasn't into their music.

We went to basement after that. As soon as I closed door, someone pulled my arms and bought me the place for dance. my tiny Filipino friend was dancing with her friends. I'm terrible dancer so I just sit in front of her and sew her amazing dance. I knew that she is good at dancing and that hot. she caught many guys eyes and she seems like enjoying it. I can't remember how much I drank. When my brain didn't work well, Chris gave me a drink, it tastes like strong 바카스 with seven up. It was strong but it helped me awake.

Around 4, we took off and went to Kim Bab restaurant for 돈가스. it was 5am when we got back home.

March 5, 2008

My phone rang this morning and '051' was the number of starting which is from Busan area. "Hi" it was English with voice which wasn't familiar to me. His name is Tom and he got my number from Busan court where I'm doing volunteer to help non-Korean people who need Korean service. He now has some document stuff to translate English into Korean. It's always my pleasure to help people. Especially people who need Korean service because I know how big deal it is for foreigners to have conversation in Korean Plus it would help Busan to be good city somewhere in their memory as well as my country, Korea.

My new English speaking study group started few days ago in my school. Since high and middle school finished winter vacation, I don't have any work daily time and so seeking for a job is what mostly important thing is. Well.. it's not seeking for a job. I'm trying to make me more a competitive person till my dream company starts hiring new employee this year, studying English, improving Korean speech and so on.

Here is good news that my friend, Andy's work our plan seems like working. By the time that this summer is coming, we will see what we have been doing at the gym. I won't let him down and I do believe he won't let me down either.

My mon gets sick again It has happens twice a year. I think she was born as a weak person. but she has been doing excercise everyday for a long with jog, YoGa but as she is getting old, well.. I want to stop talking about this.

My area, Deyon Dong started being noisy as winter vacation was over a week ago. There are two universities and one high school in my area just 10 minutes away from my home. all students in school are going to have like open-drinking party to celebrate new students, first year of university and the party is hot issue for seniors because it's chance to meet new girls and guys lol well it doesn't happen to me at all. No,, If my memory serves me right, I never joined that kinds of party. Anyway, the party doesn't come to me though I ever want to try to join it :)

March 2, 2008

Bus station was quite crowed since it was saturday that many people came to somewhere for some rest. On the way back to Busan, I called a friend of mine who was supposed to meet earlier. She was at Minju park in Busan and she invited me to see play "peterpan" that her students was playing.

Oh they were so lovely and they reminded me my high school time when I put on an act as hero :) their play was great!!!! it's like middle school play and I could see how hard they prepared for it. their dance was way better than mine :)

The Play went for about 2hours and we went to Seomyun with her friend for Chamchi soup what her favorite is to eat in Korea. We saw people came out right after they came in and I asked them why? The restaurant didn't have food to sell lol. I was more eager to come that place again to see how good their food is.

My idea for alternative wasn't good I think. we all went to Japanese place and me was the only one, enjoying food. I felt terrible. our night was getting worse. In war bar they didn't have Cass beer. so we ordered Lime beer which I didn't drink all. it sucks!

FuzzyNable was where we ended up. her friend, Meghan seemed to be enjoying but my friend and I was a bit tired. so we both were sitting and talked slowly :) till 3:00am.

Next day, she and I met again for ChamChi soup restaurant. The owner of that place recognized us :) of course she recognized us because my friend is so cute. Food was good, waterless were friendly, the best thing was it's not expensive lol

we went to grab a movie. but we didn't see it so we sit on couch together instead , talking about some of Korean musician. We found it hard to know what would be good to do. we got out of movie place and took a walk for while and found a coffee place. Pink curtain, comfortable couch, good music. we had a good talk and good rest. It was peaceful weekend.

Seoul travel! well I wasn't supposed to go to Seoul that early but as long as I know my best friend, Min Young whom I've known for past 10years was going to have test to be an accountant and he has been studying for past 3years for the test, I bought bus ticket for Seoul.

In Korean culture, we give chocolate to someone who's going to have test in oder to cheer him or she up and that was my mission for Seoul travel.

Thanks for some movies that I downloaded the other night, five hours wasn't that longer.

Due to MinYoung had to study for daily time and so he didn't have any time to meet me, I made some plan to do till I met him. First , I went to GamNam as soon as I got to Seoul to find some information that I needed for my friend's business after that SeochoDong was where I had a coffee with Dohun who's in Seoul for school. It has been 3years that we didn't meet, but he was the same as before, looking, personality and behavior.
Around 6, I took a subway to meet another friend whom I know through facebook and we went LodeO Stress for dinner with her friend. God! she drank so fast and a lot. she definitely drinks more than I do. around 10 we got back home. it was good night.

Next morning, I knew that my hometown friend was in Seoul too. so we both agreed tiny Seoul travel by walk.
It was from SinChon to Nam Mountain where the cable car is. It took about 2hours to arrive, through small park that I don't know what name is, Sung Le Moon which was burned out few weeks ago. It was bad weather but it helped us keep walking that long distance without any pain :) Mountain was beautiful and view was awesome.
I called Min Young around 5pm and we met at Sam Gyub Sal place for dinner. He looked really nervous, he was pale and didn't talk much. I understand him. 3years isn't short time to study and he sacrificed everything to be an accountant. and he was going to have the test tomorrow. If he didn't make it. it's like his all efforts for past 3years would go for nothing. He and I just ate dinner and after dinner I Gave him my chocolate. “Thanks Seo, coming to Seoul to meet him" He said. 'It was really good decision to come to Seoul' I thought. Friends means a lot to me.

wow. I must be a good person as I have many friends :) after Min Young I met Jea Hyun whom I have known since high school and he works for LG now. I bet he is the most positive person I've ever met. We had a coffee in YongSan. He has been studying English last year again. However there's nothing, different between his and my English, He said He admired my passion and it motives him to study hard. Thanks, Hyun. That's what friends are for.
